EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Northrop Grumman YF-23A 87-800, also known as PAV-1 (Prototype Air Vehicle 1), at the Edwards Air Force Base and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center in California. Circa 1998, this image freezes a significant moment in aviation history as this advanced aircraft underwent rigorous testing. The Northrop Grumman YF-23A was a two-seat, twin-engine, single-boom, variable geometry wing, stealth fighter aircraft, developed by Northrop Corporation for the United States Air Force's Advanced Tactical Fighter (ATF) program. This particular aircraft, 87-800, was the first YF-23A built and the first to fly, on April 29, 1990. During its time at Edwards Air Force Base and NASA Dryden Flight Research Center, the YF-23A underwent extensive testing to evaluate its performance and capabilities. The aircraft's innovative design, which included a variable geometry wing and advanced stealth technology, made it a groundbreaking achievement in aeronautical engineering. The Northrop Grumman YF-23A 87-800, with its sleek lines and powerful presence, represents the pinnacle of aviation technology during the late 1990s. This photograph, from The Tony Lovelock Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the awe-inspiring innovation and progress that continues to drive the aviation industry forward.
